Looking for help w Lyle m's RFL diet

[bosgirlin09]

Hi



I'm on day 12 of the diet running it as a cat 1 dieter. I'm planning on dropping the 3rd refeed day. I plan to pair my carb load with the tension/ power workouts outlined in his Ultimate diet 2.0. In that plan the workouts are spaced a day apart. Of I only refeed 2 days should I do them back to back or rest and freed day two and hit the power workout on the 3rd day when I go to maintenance?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts. I tried the forum at bodyrecomposition.com and got nada

I don't think you're supposed to workout on the two days following cycling off RFL and into your refeed. Seems to me that would defeat the entire purpose.

Hmmm he specifically suggests the tension/ power workouts to accompany the refeed to shuttle glycogen to the muscles and encourage regrowth of muscle lost. I guess I'm just wondering about the timing...

When I did the UD2.0 last fall, I did my tension and power workouts on back to back days because that's how it worked with my schedule (he has a paragraph or so about doing that in UD2.0 if that's what works for your life) and I got great results. I did the tension workout Friday morning and started the refeed directly after that workout, did the power workout Saturday afternoon and ended the refeed with dinner Saturday night. I would think it would just find if you did it that way and went to maintenance on Sunday.

I wouldn't put too much faith in someone who when counterdicted with studies and facts just puts his fingers in his ears spouting profanity.

If you have the energy the next day off RFL excercise along with protein will preserve LBM and start building muscle right away.
It's the Ketones that prevent muscle catabolization by providing a minimum amount of energy. And if you are Glycogen depleted following RFL your body will turn any ingested fat into Ketones and start Keto.

That's sorta what I meant. I respect LMD for the most part but working out during a 'reefed' period on top of coming out of a Cat. 1 cycle doesn't make sense to me.

But I also don't make the big bucks so who knows.
